I honeymooned on Nantucket Island August 1989. It was magical. In all my travels, there was none other like it. We were at a little B&B and rented a double-seat moped. The Whaling Museum was fascinating. We wandered around a cemetery. We saw tombstones of the captains that had their beautiful oil portraits handing on the museum walls. If my memory serves me correctly, the Spanish Flu of 1918 hit the island hard. Many tombstones had 1918 as the year of death. I was hoping to make my way back there by myself summer 2021, but I read about the travel restrictions of doing a 14-day quarantine before being allowed on the island or paperwork to show proof of a negative COVID test within 72 hours prior to going to the island. I just watch the videos now. I don't think my dream of returning will ever happen now.
Nice video.I grew up on ACK and Hyannis..Living there and vacationing there are really really different.I live in FL now, but my heart and memories are still back on the rock.Still have lots of family there.Some natives so under appreciate the essecence and spirit of the" grey lady".My deceased mom's favorite childhood beach us Dionnis beach.Looking to head back in the summer to spread the rest of her ashes..Way too cold there for me now...Awesome video!
LOVE THIS! I used to visit every summer with my family in the 1960s. It is still so much the same! Great to see. Thanks for the memories. I remember the Uncateena ferry boat, though, used to take 3-4 LOUD hours from Falmouth to get to Nantucket.
I loved everything about your video because it places the viewers right in. You gu9iding tour is wonderful and the way you describe the locations makes even better. My favorite!!!
Great video!!!!!! It really does capture the essence of ACK.I lived there for 10 years and miss it soooo much.Oh and literally all the resteraunts are so darn delicious.Thank you for this!
The correct way to pronounce a couple of the town names: Madaket=Madaget. Siasconset=Sconset ! I will not get into the other pronunciations of the many other names of parts of the island at this time, That concludes my lesson. Nice Video and footage. Something Natural is a Must when visiting the Island!! This from a guy who spent many summers on the island at my parents house in Madaket in Tristams Landing on Columbus Road.
My wife and I fell in love with Nantucket during our three trips there in the mid-70s. If I could have figured out a way to make a living there, we’d still there! P.S. we always went in mid-October and stayed for 7-8 days. Thanks for your wonderful video, particularly of Siasconset, our favorite part of the Island.
Thanks for the tour and the beautiful views. I was interested in the working class history of Nantucket, so I'm disappointed to learn that the elites have bought most of the island. I had already known that was true of Martha's Vineyard. Thanks again for the beautiful and peaceful trip. 🍒
I haven't been to Nantucket yet but since I'm a big fan of Moby Dick and 90s sitcom Wings, I hope to make it there soon. I will soon be turning 60 so that's one place I will visit when I finally retire. I wonder of AeroMass is still in business!!!!
Really enjoyed your video. I use to live on Nantucket and it felt like I was home. FYI, its pronounced Mad De kit beach and its Mariah Mitchell even though it is spelled Maria.
Never heard about the version of what a widows walk was/is. People in Martha's Vineyard said it was the woman to watch the sea for the returning of their husbands whaling ship.
Great video!! Too bad your auto translate was soo off, owned a business there for 10 years. My happy place. ‘Sconset is so calm and peaceful. Happy to here Something Natural still sell the “Shelia’s Favorite”, one of my first stops...
Splendid video. Lots of educational info too. Would love to schedule a trip to visit. Beautiful . Awesome place in USA, I would like to see. Affordable to middle class? Also Roy who videoed you at times when we could see you on bike? Safe to travel alone or bring family or friends? Certainly will put this on my bucket list. Great job! Thanks for taking us on this experience. From Western NC.
@@Southland23 yes, it is! I was there a few years ago in April and the prices were pretty reasonable for that time of the year. I now see the place I stayed at the Regatta Inn and it was less than $200 per night a few years ago. It has since been purchased by some people who own several properties and their prices in the summer are very, very expensive. If you want a beach vacation in the summer there are much more reasonable places to go.
Great Video. Your experiences were pretty typical for that time of year. Mad-ah-kit, Sigh-scon-set, or if you include the apostrophe in the beginning, 'sconset. Good Choice in food. also, Sushi by Yoshi in town.
Spring is an opportune time. You can avoid the throngs of summer tourists and inflated prices. We do the same when going to the Vineyard. Out of a week, we always manage to catch 3-4 seasonable sunny days. It's worth it. Though, as you note, some sites are not yet open. Nonetheless, the views and photo ops are still infinite. I am watching this video because we are considering Nantucket next...
Thank you for showing us around this beautiful island! Tell me, are there apartments there, at all? And does it contain a hospital, school, and grocery stores? Can someone live there year-round?
I can understand a first time visitor not knowing how to pronounce the local names of places on Nantucket correctly, but it’s inconceivable that an American would consistently mispronounce Massachusetts (Massa-chew-sets) as Massa-too-sets. 🤔 Also, the harbor on the Cape where the Steamship Authority and Hy-Line ferries depart from is Hyannis, not Hyannisport. Hyannisport is an adjacent community where the Kennedy family has their homes.
Thank you for your feedback! I grew up on the East Coast of Canada and this is how we pronounced Massachusetts. We get a kick out of people trying to pronounce "Mississauga".
There are so many places to stay and you would need to book well in advance during the peak season. I stayed at a small BnB, The Regatta Inn ( www.theregattainn.com/ )which was perfect for what I wanted. There are some nice hotels which you may prefer but I expect some could be pricey in peak season.
Great. Thanks for this.

Don't give up on your dreams please.
keep those 1989 memories as it was much more fun back then.
It's not too late.
Beautiful place, I would like to go there one day :-)
Thanks for the video, there's so few of them and I really enjoyed it.
Best place on earth

Can’t wait to start exploring again! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration!
Thank you I really enjoyed seeing somewhere I shall never be able to see in person. (UK)

Great job thank you, I only wish it was longer.
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to put it together. I’ve only been to Nantucket once and hope to visit again sometime soon!
Next time you go to Madaket and past the Ames Bridge be sure to check out the Crooked House on Mass ave. Fred Rogers' old vacation home.
Very Beautiful and serene
Thank you for the video of Nantucket Island. I'm planning a solo trip for a weekend, you gave me destinations to explore. Great job.
Oh you need more than just a weekend. I suggest 4 days.
thanks for this amazing & super helpful vid!
I'd rather bike the Island too. Looks like you had fun.
Terrific vlog !
Thanks Roy! You’ve helped me plan my trip!
This was an awesome video to say the least. Really relaxing it was like I was there!
Great video and editing. Can't wait to visit Nantucket. Thanks for sharing.
Thx for the video I use to live there so it was nice way to refresh my memory thx
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. My wife and I are planning a trip to Nantucket, Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard.
West Houston, Texas, retired, but Connecticut bred, Nantucket's our summer New England home away from home .......
I too am from CT, but live in Wisconsin these days. I plan on being able to make a trip to Nantucket
Great video! Thank you for this! I live there in the summers and was happy to find a video that I could show my friends.
Beautiful Island! loved your video..
Lovely video. Thank you for sharing.

Thank You - the moped ride makes a whole of differences for us viewers!
Great video Dad! I love the one you have done of our gorgeous soCal coastline! Inspires me to travel more :)
Concise, informative and worth watching!
Thanks for the tour and the beautiful views.
I was interested in the working class history of Nantucket, so I'm disappointed to learn that the elites have bought most of the island. I had already known that was true of Martha's Vineyard.
Thanks again for the beautiful and peaceful trip. 🍒
stunning i would loved to have grown up there lovely
Beautiful Island although the winters are very gray and its exteremely desolate,But I think the Summers and Spring totally make up for that
I haven't been to Nantucket yet but since I'm a big fan of Moby Dick and 90s sitcom Wings, I hope to make it there soon. I will soon be turning 60 so that's one place I will visit when I finally retire. I wonder of AeroMass is still in business!!!!

Thank you for the corrections and thank you for watching
Yep I live there right now.
great video wish i seen before when there
Great video. Would love to see a similar video about Martha’s Vineyard
I was on Nantucket Island before it got built up 50 years ago. Nothing like that place.
excellent video- Thank You
Fast forwarded to the part when you went out to Wauwinet to have a look at what use to be my grand parents place! Fishercot is still there !!
Very cool, very nice!!
Imagine having a house on Nantucket. It's too bad most people cannot afford it these days. :(
Thank you !!!!!
Relative Peter Folger surveyed the Island back in the beginning. Also Benjamin Franklin's Mother was a Folger also a relative.
Never heard about the version of what a widows walk was/is. People in Martha's Vineyard said it was the woman to watch the sea for the returning of their husbands whaling ship.
Love this thank u
I would love to go there.

I am here because of Wings.
Yes, very cute show!

Just saw this Wanda, I had a small tripod to film myself. No, not at all affordable to the middle class.
@@RobRoyAdventures Crazy expensive!

Next time I suggest you stay at the Jared Coffin House - EXPENSIVE but which I give it a 5 star- Peg V from NJ
Thank you for showing us around this beautiful island! Tell me, are there apartments there, at all? And does it contain a hospital, school, and grocery stores? Can someone live there year-round?
shippermd yes I live here year round. There’s a year round population of 14,000
It is built for bicycles rather than cars. That is the life.
Better that the hamptons?¿
Best place to visit in New England....period
Hi, what time of year was this? I don’t see tourist and I’m in love.
April
9:21
Wow
what a difference now R.I.P. stilt house
Omg yeah. I forgot what it looked like. Go by there every day.
Where is the state of Massatusess?
Frodo Baggins
Massachusetts is on East coast of USA
It's the state with the sneeze in the middle.
Over everyone’s head
It’s Matusess because they sent the ass to Washington.
Been round that point riden the spinnerker!
Who’s filming other than your filming from bike?
seems overrun with the rich, with those mega yachts lined up in the harbor. imagine dealing with them in the restaurants?
The locals (I used to be one) would say ... two days "on" Nantucket. FYI. Funny eh?
Thank you for pointing this out, this was a typo when I re-edited the metadata, the video is actually titled "Two Days On Nantucket"
My pleasure.

I live in Manasquan NJ across from beach...Get more house for the money there..
do you know any place where to stay

who was dat chick @ the brewery? you ask her out for a ride?
The place looks too empty. What's the population on the island?
83
Prahhhhduce?
Must have been something else before it turned commercial.
I thought it was called " Massachusetts " not mas a tussetts ???? "Chu " not " tu "
You also aren't pronouncing Sankaty right
Are you able to rent vehicles? Cost?
I did not rent a car but if you do a Google search a number of rental options come up on the island.
@@RobRoyAdventures thank you so much. Enjoyed your video so much. !! From Western NC
synagogues on nantucket? never saw one.
shirathayamnantucket.org/about-us/strangers-to-neighbors/
@@RobRoyAdventures thank you. good to know this
You aren't pronouncing "Madaket" right
Most of these people are hiding or dying
I'm guessing this is another place that will be lost as the seas rise due to global warming. :(
I`ve lived by the sea for over 50 years, haven`t noticed any sea level rising at all.
